University of Puget Sound's most popular majors?

Hey, I'm thinking about University of Puget Sound and I'm curious about what majors students usually gravitate towards. Are there specific programs that are traditionally more popular or well-regarded? Any info would help as I start my application process!

According to the most recent data, the most popular majors at University of Puget Sound are Business Administration and Management, followed closely by Psychology. Other frequently chosen fields include Political Science and Government, Biology, and Environmental Science.

While popularity can be a good sign, remember that a major being well-regarded is often more pertinent to your studies. Research has shown that regardless of major, students who have good experiences with their professors and feel challenged by their coursework fare best. So, make sure that the departments for your potential majors have strong faculty and rigorous curricula, a good starting point might be checking out the school's website or reaching out to current students or faculty within those departments.

The right major for you is not necessarily the most popular one, but rather the one that aligns best with your interests and career goals. Use this information as a guide, but be confident in exploring other paths if they seem like a better fit for you.

For example, while Business Administration and Management might be the most popular major, the university also has a highly respected School of Music. If you are musically inclined, this might be the perfect fit for you because Puget Sound is one of the few liberal arts colleges to offer a School of Music.

In general, it's a good idea to consider both the popularity and the strengths of a department when choosing your major. It could help to speak with a school counselor or academic advisor to discuss your interests and align them with the right major.
